China is one of the emerging superpowers of the world. This east-Asian country has a highly developed and sophisticated economy and is the second-largest in the world in terms of GDP. It is common knowledge that China is known to the world as a Communist country. However, the question remains-Is it true? Does China fit the definition of a communist country that Karl Marx elaborated in his “Communist Manifesto”? Well, after considering the massive economic and social changes that China has undergone, it is safe to say that China has a form of state capitalism within the framework of a Communist party rule.
